In the face of the Han army's attack on three sides, the exhausted Tang army was almost crushed. The development of things is often like this, when the emergency is imminent, he repents, even if he is just stupid and stupid like He Yanxi, when he sees the Han army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and wantonly slaughtering the soldiers of Haozhou, he finally realizes what Guo Tingwei said "strange".

This is the Han army's plan to lure the enemy, and after reacting, He Yanxi almost vomited blood, and he couldn't see through such a superficial plan......

At this critical juncture, He Yanxi completely lost his square inch, and he had no intention of gathering troops to resist, so he twisted his horse and left, and withdrew directly. As soon as the main general fled, the Tang army was defeated even more completely, and the defeat was like a mountain.

In the rear of the Tang army, there was an army led by Guo Tingwei, which was followed by it, and the more it pursued, the more the hidden worries in his heart intensified, and seeing that it was deep into Tushan, he was even more vigilant, and sent people to persuade He Yanxi to withdraw his troops, but unfortunately, his stubbornness did not listen.

It didn't take long for the sound of killing at the foot of Tu Mountain to come, and listening to its movements, it was definitely not the momentum caused by a small group of hundreds of soldiers and horses.

"Something's wrong!" scolded He Yanxi in his heart for not listening to persuasion, and hurriedly led the army to follow, preparing to support and see if he could save the situation.

Approaching a mile ahead, the Tang army has already broken out, coming in a hurry, one lock at a time, not forming an organization, chaotic, scattered in all directions. Guo Tingwei immediately found a lieutenant and asked, "What's going on?" What about the eunuchs? ”

When Guo Tingwei faced, the official of the army was shocked and said: "We followed the capital prison to pursue the Han army, straight into the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the Han army came out from the mountains and forests on the left and right, and the Han army was defeated, and turned back to attack and kill. The Han army was fierce, our army was not aware for a while, and it was unable to resist, so it was defeated, and He Dujian was lost in the battle......"

"How many people are there in the Han army?" Guo Tingwei asked urgently.

"The battle flags are dense and boundless, at least tens of thousands. There are two fierce generals in the Han army, and they have beheaded several of our commanders......" The captain replied: "Envoy, flee quickly, all the armies have died in chaos, and the Han soldiers are pursuing!" ”

Guo Tingwei has his own judgment, of course, he will not fully believe the words of this low-level officer who has lost his soul, but He Yanxi was ambushed and defeated, but it is an indisputable fact.

Hearing his words retreat, the long knife was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed, and the officer's head fell to the ground, and the color of panic stayed on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Guo Tingwei immediately stepped forward and ordered sharply: "Line up to meet the enemy, lead the defeated soldiers to go from both wings, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

At this time of crisis, Guo Tingwei also made a quick decision, intending to stop the pursuit of the Han army with his own army and inflict continuous casualties on the defeated Tang army. As far as he knew, the number of the Vortex Han army was only three or two thousand, and there was a part of the naval army, and the Han army was ten thousand, but it was just a conjecture when the officer was defeated.

Standing in front of the battle with his sword, looking at the Tang army that was constantly retreating, there were many familiar faces, Guo Tingwei's face sank like water, and he hated He Yanxi in his heart. There were reckless attacks by the rebels, and they were also ordered to be killed by Guo Tingwei.

After a while, the Han army was already in pursuit.

Dang Jin took the lead in leading people to rush to the front of Guo Tingwei's army, looking at the Tang army blocking the road, looking at the crossbowmen in the front row, Dang Jin couldn't help licking his almost chapped lips, without thinking, he picked up a shield, shouted "rush", and took the lead in rushing towards the Tang army.

Entering the firing range, three rounds of arrow rain directly caused more than 100 casualties to the Han army, and Dang Jin's arm was also painted. Seeing this, Dang Jin's eyes were even more red-eyed, you must know that in the previous ambush and pursuit, his subordinates did not suffer such a big loss. The ferocity was furious, and the spirit was even stronger, leading people to crash into the Tang Army's military formation, and the party was directed at Guo Tingwei, who was dispatching and commanding the battle.

A fight broke out, and it became white-hot. As the main general, Zhao Kuangyin did not focus on fighting, but under the rear command, chasing and suppressing the dead enemy. When he arrived with his army, the party entered a department and fought fiercely with Guo Tingwei's army.

With a sweep of the tiger's eyes, he judged the situation clearly, looked at Guo Tingwei's army who was occupying the road to resist, and understood his plans at a glance. He immediately ordered his subordinates to lead the battalion commander to rush forward to support the party's advance, while he himself led the army to detour to its flank.

The Han army took advantage of the victory, and there were fierce generals, plus Zhao Kuangyin's impromptu dispatch, even if Guo Tingwei was quite talented in commanding troops, it was difficult to resist, and finally before Zhao Kuangyinli came around, he ordered a retreat, and then in the pursuit of the Han army, it turned into a defeated retreat......

Zhao Kuangyin and Dang Jin chased and killed for several miles, and when they approached the Tang camp, they stopped and rested temporarily.

"The one surnamed Guo really has some means to resist me for so long and hurt me nearly three hundred times!" It was not only because of the cold, but also because of the emotion, Dang Jin's face turned red and he scolded.

Zhao Kuangyin's attention was on the Tang camp not far away, which was already in chaos, and even affected the naval army on the shore.

"That Guo Tingwei is really not easy to deal with, if he commands the army independently, I really don't know how to do it. But the defeat is like a mountain, and Guo Tingwei alone can not recover it! Zhao Kuangyin said.

Spit out a breath of turbidity, Zhao Kuangyin pointed at the Tang camp and asked: "The Tang army's infantry has been defeated, and most of our army has succeeded in this battle, only its village remains!" Brother Party, do you dare to join me in directly attacking the Tang camp and cooperating with the navy to attack its water camp? The Tang Army's land division is not to worry about us, if it can inflict heavy damage on its naval army, then the Huaishui River will be downstream, and our army should not be afraid of its threat in a short period of time. ”

"How don't you dare! Brother Zhao has such a strong heart, how dare the last general say it? Besides, this fight, we haven't finished yet. The party marched out of the horse, boosting morale: "Brothers, do you dare to follow me to attack the Tang camp?" ”

With his encouragement, the soldiers enthusiastically shouted "war", and said three times in a row, and the sound shook in the wilderness. Seeing that the party raised his arms and shouted, that is, to mobilize morale, Zhao Kuangyin was more and more pleased with such generals.

Not much to say, together with the party, gathered the army, after the pursuit all the way, now only gathered more than 1,000 soldiers. However, the morale of the Han army was high, and there was no fear, and after a little rectification, they followed Zhao Kuangyin and the party to attack the Tang camp.

The generals worked hard, and the soldiers used their lives, even if there were more than 1,000 troops left behind by Guo Tingwei in the Tang camp, they could not stop the onslaught of the Han army. Ninety-six flavors

After the victory of the Tushan ambush, Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to inform the Han army in Shuizhai as early as possible, and sent all the warships to the south, directly attacking the Tang division.

When Zhao Kuangyin broke through the Tang camp, the Han army and the Haozhou army had already begun to clash. If you only talk about strength, the dozens of light boats and small ships of the Han army are completely not enough to stuff the teeth of the Haozhou navy. However, failure is contagious......

The defeat on land directly affected the Haozhou naval army, which had no will to fight, and the soldiers had no will to fight, and ended in retreating downstream.

Tang Ying, the puppet Haozhou regiment trained Guo Tingwei to kill the thief, but he was unable to return to the sky, and finally fled back to Haozhou with the remnants of less than 500 people. And He Yanxi, who led people to break away from the brigade on the Tushan battlefield, made a detour and returned to the camp, and before he drank hot water, Guo Tingwei returned to the camp, and the Han army followed him to attack the camp.

Of the nearly 200 ships of the Haozhou Navy, only more than 100 successfully retreated when the situation was not good, and the rest were all intercepted and captured by the Han army. The 5,000 naval army lost nearly half of the battle without much fighting......

In the first battle of the vortex, the Han army can be described as a complete victory.

The wine and meat in the Tang camp became the reward of the Han army after the war, and the whole army was happy, and the soldiers and horses of the battalions returned one after another, and the captures and battle losses were gradually counted.

On the shore, facing the slightly ruined but warm atmosphere of the Tang camp, Zhao Kuangyin and the commander of the Dang Jin and the naval army boarded the largest captured Haozhou battleship.

Dang Jin was injured in several places, and his body had been bandaged, but he was in good spirits and was not seriously injured. The three of them were all happy, especially the commander of the navy surnamed Zhang, who was even more happy, but he didn't make much effort, so he made a lot of military achievements, looked at Zhao Kuangyin, and his eyes were very kind.

It was getting late, and the three of them sat cross-legged and sat at a table, enjoying the seized wine and meat. A soldier from Suzhou was full of joy, and said excitedly to Zhao Kuangyin: "Envoy, according to preliminary statistics, in the first battle of the vortex, our army killed and wounded more than 2,000 Tang army foot soldiers, captured 1,000, and the rest is difficult to count. The Haozhou Navy captured more than 1,500 soldiers and captured 80 large and small ships, especially 10 of them, which were full of food and military supplies. There are also countless swords, armor, flags, etc., and there are still more than 10,000 stones of rice in the Tang camp, and several carts of wine and meat......"

"Good! Good! Good! Zhao Kuangyin didn't react yet, but Dang Jin patted his thigh, said hello three times, picked up the wine bowl, and toasted Zhao Kuangyin and Commander Zhang: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhang, let's drink a bowl of celebration wine!" ”

"Good!"

Zhao Kuangyin was originally a good drinker, so he drank it all, wiped his mouth, and asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

"Not big!" The tone of the army was very relaxed: "The soldiers of the battalions are listed, and it is not excluded that they are lost, counting last night's attack, before and after this battle, our army lost a total of 367 people, and 451 people were seriously injured!" ”

"Nearly half of the casualties!" Zhao Kuangyin put down the wine bowl and said with emotion.

"Compared with the results of the battle, this casualty is nothing!" Commander Zhang of the Navy said with a smile: "I also want to congratulate Zhao Envoy Jun for defeating the Haozhou land and water army, making this great achievement, and the ascension is imminent!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned; "It's a pity that so many brothers were killed and wounded!"

After that, he said to the army: "Record all the casualties of the cadet and soldiers, and there must be no omissions, and when the war is over, I will report to the court for compensation, so as to comfort these warriors who fought for the country!" ”

"Yes!"

"Order all battalions, take a short rest, escort the prisoners, capture them on the ship, burn the Tang camp, and return to Jingshanzhai in case of accidents!" After thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin ordered, and then looked at the commander of the navy: "Commander Zhang, there are brothers in the Lao Navy, send me and wait!" ”

"It's a little thing!"

It took more than an hour for Zhao Kuangyin to return to the whirlpool, take out the seized wine and meat, and reward the soldiers.

Zhao Kuangyin's side, while handwriting the battle situation and results, reported to the former commander of the Huainan battalion, and asked for merit for the generals.

That night, Zhao Kuangyin and his soldiers drank and celebrated together, and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Early in the morning of the second day, under the influence of a hangover, thinking about the homework, he immediately summoned the officers under his command and threw a strict order: from him below, before the end of this battle, if there are any more drinkers, behead!

As soon as the battle of Vortex was over, Zhao Kuangyin sent people to investigate the situation in Haozhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also paid attention to the battle situation between Wang Jun and Liu Yanzhen in the south.

There, it is the key battle in Huainan.

Judging from the news that came in the past two days, Zhao Kuangyin always felt that Liu Yanzhen had fallen into the trap of Wang Dushuai.

Liu Yanzhen was west of Anyuan, defeated the intercepted Li Chongjun, and had taken advantage of the situation to approach Shouchun. In Zhao Kuangyin's opinion, this is like his own strategy in the vortex......
